AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Thank you for your viewing.

The Olympus PEN EE-3 is one of the most iconic half-frame cameras ever made, part of Yoshihisa Maitani's legendary PEN series. Its selenium light meter drives a fully automatic exposure system that needs no battery, and because it exposes only half a 35mm frame, a single roll of 36 gives you 72 shots. Compact, pocketable, and effortless to use, it remains a beloved companion for street and travel photographers who love the surprise of half-frame film.
